a Boss" u. S. Senator.

Matthew S. Quay was nominated
almost unanimously for United States
Senator by the Republican members OF
the Pennsylvania Legislature in caucus
assembled. He received 153 votes to 9
for Galusha A. Grow. This fulfilled all
expectations, for there has been practi-
callv no doubt of Quay's success. He
elected the Legislature. carefully pick
ing out as candidates men who would
do his bidding. The large vote in his
favor shows what powerful boss he
was, and how completely he held the Re-
publican party of Pennsylvania in his
grasp. That he has any fitness for the
office of Senator nobody seriously
claims. But he may have as much or
even more than Don Cameron. He is
boss, pure and simple, with those ele-
ments of force which are possessed by
all successful bosses. 1t is customary
now for the Republican press of Penn
sylvania to endeavor to surround him
with something of dignity by speaking
of him as Matthew Stanley Quay, in
stead of the familiar Matt by which
he is always called in private life, but

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

To say that the President has
put the Republican Senators in very
awkward position by again sending in
the name of Mr.. Matthews, is to put it
very mildly. They will now have to
concede that they love only the Repub-
lican colored man-for his vote.-Atba-
ny argus.
AS the statistics of the year are
published they show that although
there has been Democratic Admins
tration the country has prospered. Our
esteemed Republican contemporaries,
however, are cheered by the hope that
some great national distress may come
to the rescue of their lugubrious predic-
tions during the coming year.-N. I.
World ..s
The Navy Department has or
dered another trial of the Atlanta,
which, it is to be hoped, will be more
satisfactory than the first one. Little
dependence can be placed on those Re-
publican contract built vessels left as a
legacy to Secretary Whitney. We will
have to wait for the new ships to be
constructed under the auspices of the
present Administrations Arg1s.
On pinch, Senator ingalls,, of
Kansas, is willing to admit that the ne
gro has legal right to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, but he is positive that
one who does that things is an migrate
who does not deserve his freedom.
The negro who would suit Ingalls,, then,
would only be about half emancipated.
The men who are running the Repub.
lican party now are not those who
freed the Chicago Herald.
What a nonentity Senator Mitch
ell, of Pennsylvania, Is, appears from
the fact that he received no support,
complimentary or otherwise, in the Re-
publican caucus for the nomination OF
a candidate for United States Senator.
The dearth of great men among the
Republicans in the State is shown in
the fact that Matthew S. Quay received
every vote in the Republican caucus
with the exception of nine.-Detro''
Free Press.
M. S. Quay, the successor tc
John /. Mitchell in the United States
Senate was chairman of the pardonine
board that spared Kemble, of addition

disgrace of term in the State peniten
tiary by convoking the board immedi
ately upon the passing of sentence upon
him, and rushing pardon through be
fore he could be removed to prison
The record of this official condoner OF
corruption has not injured his standing
in the party that once boosted Of it

exhuberance of a Chicago organ OF thu

the nomination of this ringster and Pc
litical boss in Pennsylvania and OF |

PARTISAN IMPUDENCE.

SmaIl-Souled Republicans Who Have Been
Retained in ONCE Meanly AssaiIing the
administration.
Some fool friends of Republican ex-
chiefs of divisions at Washington whose
places have been given to supporters OF
the Administration, while they have
been retained as chief clerks at salaries
but slightly less than those they have
formerly received, have for some time
back been sending slush to Republican
Journals, telling how incompetent the
new chiefs are and how essential the
ex-chiefs are to the continued efficiency
of the divisions.
To man not wholly blinded by par
tisanship, the fact that these chiefs OF
divisions have been retained in office at
good pay and have been given positions
where they are protected by the civil
service rules as long as they behave
themselves. would seem to demonstrate
the earnest desire of the Administra-
ton to reform the abuses of the
.sspoils" system. To one not affected
with this partisan obliquity OF vision,
the distinction between an office which
involves llI1Iletlldte peISOIldl ICopoLoi-
bility to the head of the bureau or de-
| partment, and which, therefore, re-
quires personal trust and confidence,
and merely clerical position is well
marked and easily apprehended. A
| head of department may very well
| desire that his chiefs of division shall
be men upon whose fidelity he may
rely and who will be in sympathy with
his administrative methods, and not
the legacies of former administration
and at the same time conscientiously
strive to enforce Civil-Service principles
as applied to department work gener-
ally. And when he takes pains to pro-
vide displaced ex-chiefs with good cler-
ical positions, it does not fit the Repub-
lican mouth very well to assail him for
these acts of graciousness.
The statement that the Administra-
ton or any department thereof is de-
pendent upon these Republican ex-
chiefs for the efficient conduct OF affairs
is simple nonsense. If they think the
Government can not get along without
them, or if they do not think their
present pay is great enough, there is
no law whatever against their resign
ino.-Detroit Free Press.

uNFuLFlLLEp PROPHECIES.
The Predictions of the Blaine-Sherman-
ties Regarding the Country's Ruin.


ties Regarding the Country's Ruin.
Instead of showing that the predic-
lions of the Blaines and the Shermans
that change by the people in their
Government would bring disaster upon
all business enterprises the record of
failures for the last six years seems to
prove that the change was made justin
time to save the country from whole
sale ruin. In 1881 the number of fail
ures was 1929. In 1882 this had in
creased to 1855. In 1888 the number
had risen to 10,299. In 1884 there was
another increase to 1920, and in 1885,
the first year of the new regime, the
failures dropped to lilo, to be sue
ceeded in 1886 by another drop to TO-
| 56S. In the last four years OF the rule
which the croakers sought to convince
the people they could not get along
without the commercial disasters near
! " doubled. In the first two years OF
| the new management they have de-
| creased by more than one thousand.
Probably by another two years they
will be back again to the place where
they started in 1880.
These figures are neither new nor
surprising to men of intelligence and
fairness, for the ascendancy OF any
party which represents the majority OF
the people will not be injurious to their
business or any other interest, but they
